NERA 2007

Days of Our Lives in Graduate School

Asil Ali Özdoğru

Our days in graduate school can follow very much the same kind of storylines we used to see in soap operas. We make plans for our future, work towards achieving our goals, and negotiate solutions to our daily stressors and long-term problems. In the company of Jorge Cham's intuitive cartoons (http://www.phdcomics.com/) this talk lays the ground for necessary steps of action and golden keys for success in academic and non-academic settings for graduate students.

Keywords: Graduate students, life planning, peer advise
